[Reportbug-maint] Bug#568197: reportbug: allow not to send package and OS info

[Éric Araujo]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.10.1
Severity: wishlist

Hello

There are some situations where sending package and OS info isn’t really
needed, e.g. when writing a comment on an issue. I’d like a checkbox to
disable sending such info that does nothing but take room in the bug logs.

When sending a request for enhancement though, the package version is
useful because the feature might be here in a newer version. I guess in this
case it would make sense to include the version of the package (but not the
whole dependencies list and reportbug configuration).

Kind regards

Merwok
